San Diego music festival tradition." He continues, "The
Adams Avenue Roots & Folk Festival has been an annual event
for 32 years and is dedicated to the promotion and preservation
of the rich "Roots & Folk" music styles and traditions.
The festival provides a prominent venue for the performance of this
musical heritage by local and nationally touring music artists,
and offers a rare opportunity for the public to hear this priceless
cultural legacy performed live on stage."
Mr. Carl Sabatino, on-air RadioASB personality and host of the
"Carl Sabatino and the Morning Show" program broadcast
from the RadioASB New York City studio each weekday morning from
Monday through Friday will travel to San Diego in order to spearhead
radio coverage of the festivities. Mr. Sabatino, a long time FM
radio host in New York City relates, "RadioASB is about the
music, and the Roots and Folk Festival is a very specific type of
music that is rarely heard on radio nowadays." He continues,
"Our coverage of the event will provide an excellent opportunity
to document this wonderful cultural legacy that has influenced in
so many ways much of the contemporary music that we hear today."
Mr. Jim Schneider, Executive Director of the Adams Avenue Business
Association says, "We are delighted that RadioASB has accepted
our invitation to participate in the Adams Avenue Roots & Folk
Festival this year. Their dedication to the music of the American
Songbook and their high quality radio programming and broadcasting
is both impressive and refreshing." Ms. Judy Moore, Associate
Director of the Adams Avenue Business Association adds, "We
feel very strongly that RadioASB's participation, coverage and contribution
will ensure this year's event to be exceptional."
This year marks the 33rd year of the Adams Avenue Roots & Folk
Festival, and it is anticipated that the event will attract a record
audience attendance. There will be over 150 exotic food vendors
as well as arts & crafts vendors, a beer garden, music workshops
and family activities. The agenda and activities that have been
organized for this year's festivities by Mr. Schneider and Ms. Moore
of the Adams Avenue Business Association will ensure that a memorable
time is to be had by all.
The Roots & Folk festival features five music stages strategically
located along the ample Adams Avenue thoroughfare with scheduled
live performances by more than thirty renowned local and national
artists showcasing music that is representative of the vast Roots
and Folk genres including traditional Folk, Country, the Blues,
Appalachian, Cajun, Bluegrass and Conjunto.
In relation to the music and artists, Mr. Burrell comments, "The
artists scheduled to perform have been booked through the extraordinary
efforts and assistance of Mr. Lou Curtiss, and I must admit that
I am extremely impressed with the manner in which he has coordinated
the talent." He continues, "His expertise, diligence,
thoroughness and professionalism are uniquely singular, and the
roster of artists has everyone looking forward to the two day event
with utmost enthusiasm."
Mr. Lou Curtiss, original founder of the Roots & Folk Festival
back in 1967, has been intimately involved with each and every one
of the preceding 32 festivals. He is a nationally recognized record
producer, music researcher and archivist for both the Library of
Congress and the Smithsonian Institution. Mr. Curtiss is also a
multi-instrumentalist and proprietor of Folk Arts Rare Records,
located at 2881 Adams Avenue in San Diego.
RadioASB will cover the two day event from a booth prominently
located near the artist headliner music stage, which will be shared
with the eminent San Diego music publication "San Diego Troubadour".
The Troubadour publishers, Liz Abbott and Kent Johnson, will be
graciously lending their support to RadioASB during the two day
coverage of the event.
In relation to the collaborative efforts of RadioASB and the San
Diego Troubadour, Mr. Burrell remarks, "We have found Ms. Abbott,
Mr. Johnson and the entire staff of the San Diego Troubadour most
supportive of RadioASB in preparing for our coverage of the Roots
& Folk festival." He adds, "It is readily apparent
that, although engaged in different communications media, RadioASB
and the Troubadour share a like-minded conviction regarding the
significance of this music as a cultural art form. Their contributions
are significant, and most sincerely appreciated."
